Prostatitis is an inflammatory process that has developed in the glandular tissue of the prostate gland, sometimes with a passage to the muscular part of this organ. This causes perineal pain, weakness, fatigue, urinary dysfunction and sexual dysfunction. It is imperative to treat acute prostatitis in order to avoid the dangerous complications of this disease.
At the present time, both the causes and processes occurring in prostatitis are well understood. Therefore, the urologist has a wide arsenal of tools for treating this disease. They should be prescribed only by a specialist who has knowledge of what links in the development of the disease affects a particular drug, and also takes into account the contraindications to them. Consider the main groups of drugs used to treat prostatitis.
Antibacterial agents
The most common cause of prostatitis is bacteria. Antibacterial drugs are directed against them.
To perform a targeted effect on the bacterium that caused prostatitis in a particular person, it is necessary to perform a bacteriological study of the secretion secreted by the prostate. Only after knowing the name of the microorganism, what are its properties and to which antibacterial agents it is sensitive, can you choose an adequate antibiotic. And modern drugs with a similar orientation are able to cure even severe forms of the disease. In acute bacterial prostatitis, the following antibiotics are used:
- Amoxicillin;
- Ceftriaxone;
- Cefotaxime;
- Ofloxacin;
- Ciprofloxacin;
- Azithromycin.
This is not a complete list of antibacterial drugs used to treat prostatitis.
Antiviral treatment
If prostatitis has a herpetic etiology, it is treated with antiviral drugs. Ajo:
- Acyclovir;
- Valciclovir;
- Ffamciclovir.
